This is one of the very few movie-based games that I really enjoyed (Spiderman 2 being the other one). The fighting is very well done, with each hit feeling good and heavy, and the (very) light RPG elements add a nice touch to upgrading and leveling your chosen character.
Whilst this is a decent action game, it is no God of War, and Fans of the movies/books will probably get more out of it then non fans. If you only ever get one action game, then this probably won't be it. But I like the game, it's good fun, and definitely worth playing.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I was a huge fan of the two previous X-Men Legends games, playing through both with a friend on the couch. But with M:UA, I find myself playing this alone more than cooperatively. Does this affect the over all experience? Yes, it does.

As a single player game, your enjoyment will probably depend on how big a fan you are of comic books, especially Marvel books. After all this is basically Gauntlet dressed up in spandex, and it's a good time sink when you've nothing else to do. The wealth of (playable) heroes means you're sure to find one or more to your liking and the (optional) auto-leveling can take away a lot of the hassle of leveling up yourself, not to mention the time saved.
It's in multiplayer where this game shines, though. Grab a friend (or three) and this game is something else entirely. It's just awesome fun.

Second Sight

I remember playing this a while back, and thinking how cool it was to have all these powers the game gives you. Does it hold up now, many years and many great games later? Yes, and no.

I remember playing this a while back, and thinking how cool it was to have all these powers the game gives you. Does it hold up now, many years and many great games later? Yes, and no.
The story is (and I say this with all honesty) actually pretty good. It works well for a game, and I'm not sure if it would work as well in other media. The controls are still fairly easy to use, but the textures have aged somewhat, but then that's to be expected, right?
End of the day, the game is awesome fun. Nothing can beat using your telekinesis to grab a guard and bring him kicking and screaming to the nearest wall and slamming him back and forth till he goes limp.
